I live in Alojera at the moment. It is a small town of 430 inhabitants belonging to the municipality of Vallehermoso. It covers the Valle Barranco del Mono and its tributaries, at the head of which is the step of the central plateau of the island with a large difference in level between Lomo del Carretón and La Asomada.
I love this valley and although it looks northern on the map, if you look closely at the satellite map, you can see the difference in vegetation compared to the northern valleys like vallehermoso.
So due to its special geographical location, Valle Barranco del Mono is a valley in the north with comparatively many hours of sunshine per year.
This is why I picked it, wonderful warm, much sun and not many tourist, they are all sitting in Valle Gran Rey 😉.Read more
